I watched Maalaala mo Kaya's "Diploma" episode...Its about lola Rosa's achievement...to Graduate in high school even at a very advance age...It was not a pretty and easy road to take. Her parents were mocked, belittled and unjustly treated by the society just because they were not educated. Se was mocked because she was not properly educated because she only finished till third year high school. Other people does not respect her and her husband because they did not finished high school. Her kids was ashamed of their undereducated parents. And when she finally decided to study again in high school, almost everyone was against it. Some of her children discouraged her, some supported her. Other people mocked her. But her only strength was her husband who have been there to support her through thick and thin. In the end, she finished her studies as a high school student.

Moral Lesson: It was a road less travel.Everyone will discourage you.No one wants to take that road except a few. It was and it will be a nasty journey. A lot of worries and heart aches will be met along the path. But the goal will be the sweetest success anyone can ever taste.

I was watching it with my mama and little sister. I was reminded of the paths that my older sister and I took. She took med proper, while I took law proper (with a pre-med undergraduate course). We both took the harder path to reach our ultimate goal in life. I know it will be rocky, bumpy and steep road to walk on. But what can I do. There's no other way to reach our goals, but to take this unpleasant journey. All I am thinking now is when I finish this road, I will be complete and happy because I did it....on my own. My ultimate goal is to have what I've dreamed of. And I would never ever want to look back anymore. I hope that I will never regret my decision that I've exchanged my life into something more difficult than it used to be. I hope that I will reach for my dreams. A path that not everyone gets, but everyone loves to be like us in the end.

It was a gloomy day for a summer's day. I need to leave earlier than I usually do. i need to go to the nearest photocopying machine in the mall to do some errand for my barrister buddy. I picked this pair of sandals, a white strappy wedge, a comfy yer stylish.I finished my errand on time. But the rain poured on me. I need to walk to the train station without any umbrella, only a towel to cover my head.My sandals, my precious white sandals got a lot of mud on the edges. I have no choice but to walk in mud.I got on the train...good thing i got the chance to sit even though I was wet from the rain.Everybody was wet. It smelled like wet socks....I got to my practice on time. But my coach was late...almost everybody was late....the mats were not even spread yet. No time to lay the mats, so we practiced without it. The gloom of the weather made us gloomy also...We never really do much. Its the first time that coach let us sit on the floor just to do nothing....Then, time for me to go to my summer classes. I got there, as usual, late. My professor teased me of wearing skirt. Everyone knows, they will seldom see me in one because I hate wearing them....very uncomfortable and bare. But nevertheless, everyone noticed me..even that someone special who is sitting at the opposite end of the room. In the middle of the class, my friend signed to me that he was already hungry...I was starving also...So we decided to eat after class...After class, i first went to my barrister buddy and gave her the notes I photocopied.While waiting for her, that special someone also went to the place where I am waiting....Tensions build as he walks beside and past me...Then he stand next to me and smiled. i asked him what is he doing there. He answered that he went there to give something to a friend.Small talks about the subject and things how to memorize for such subject. He was waiting for my answer, I was waiting for his. Its like a dance that everyone is looking at...and the dancers are waiting for someone to make a move....Tensions build...awkwardness rises up...stolen pic was taken. He was just beside me...talking to me..looking at me...laughing with me...then the moment that he has to leave...and I was stuck there to wait for someone and with a friend.

After that errand, my friends and I ate at KFC....it was a wonderful night of laughing and talking about a lot of things...I miss to have those long hangouts....A very shy boy and a timid girl makes no progress at all!

Finals on Credit Transactions was one hell of an exam....The midterms was just peanuts compared to that!It was 12 categories with sub-questions....Topics were to broad...and questions were very tricky!If this was a regular day, it would surely make me dizzy after exam....But I was not...And it was because someone made my day (or night) really really happy.It was a not so typical exam day...I was wearing a girlie flimsy skirt.Never expected him to be there...I was actually expecting him not to see me...I was walking out of the library for my exam hour was nearing.Walking towards him, when he saw me from afar...staring right at me...our eyes locked, looking at each other...Walking just passing him with a friend when he can't stop not to notice how I looked...blooming and in a skirt...I just smiled and told him that I was forced to wear skirt due to lack of clean clothes...I was beaming...but the moment have not sink in yet...It took quite a while for me to realize how happy I was....Now, it was quite difficult to concentrate to memorize even though I tried...much more to focus my mind to think about the answers while the exam...The exam was difficult in itself, but i guess its much more difficult when there is a obstruction in your sight...

Moral lesson: You don't need the world to tell you you are beautiful to be happy, sometimes, all it takes is just one special person...=)And sometimes, no matter how difficult life is, all you need is a very good motivation to strive thru it!=)
